Facebook status updates on your blog

without comments

I’ve just syndicated my Facebook status updates onto my blog here; you can see the most recent in the bar to the right.

Finding the RSS feed letting my export my status updates from Facebook into Wordpress wasn’t particularly clear cut though, and props go to Andy Walters for his post on where to find the right feed. :)

How to add your feed…

The link can be found on the Minifeed page, where you can filter by the sort of stories you are interested in, the URL to the page is: http://www.facebook.com/minifeed.php?filter=11

At the bottom of the story types under “Subscribe to these Stories” there is a ‘My Status’ link, right click this and you will have the RSS link to your Facebook status updates to use in any application you like (Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, to name but a few) which supports importing RSS 2.0 feeds.

In Wordpress, you can add the feed as an ‘RSS Widget’ in any widgets-enabled theme.
